- The once great Walt Disney company is dying, scoring failure after failure at the box office, with many more on the horizon. Can the company that brought us the greatest animation classics be saved?
In this video, I dive into why it's over for Disney.

"Hey, let's make content for extremist minorities"
"Why are less and less people watching our movies?"
No quality, no success
And Its not only “minorities”, their movies are watch worldwide and everyone think they suck lol
Well...Mission Accomplished I guess?
Brilliant! Literally amazing they calculated that pandering to the top 5% of the most fragile snowflakes while alienating the rest of us would somehow increase their market share...
And!!!! As a Minority I can tell you while I love Coco I love Beauty and the Beast, Jungle Book, Mulan, 101 Dalmatians, Rescuers Down under, Swiss Family Robinson and Blackbeard's Ghost just as much. I never needed to see myself in those stories. I just needed to be entertained.
It’s virtually impossible to say anything positive about Disney nowadays.
I love their movies and shows, but hate their ethics.
There; I did it. Do I get a prize? Haha
@@IllisiaAdams No because you're lying.
Yeah. The Chip 'n' Dale: Rescue Rangers movie is the only one movie I honestly loved in the Disney Plus era. I'd gladly re-watch that one again and again. Just one. 😂
They provide top notch comedy. It's hilarious to watch them burn money and fail again and again
No adverb required. It is impossible. Period.
90 years of good favor was destroyed in the last 10... I never thought they'd become a joke of a company, let alone that fast
well an executive at Disney saying "f Walt" says all you need to know about the mentality of the current Disney regime
I watched the new Mulan with my wife who is of Chinese descent. She was genuinely pissed and said she would never watch it again. The straw that broke the camel’s back for her was how Mulan only truly became a strong warrior by removing her armor, letting her hair down, and embraced being a woman. She said it was a total insult to the story of Mulan which was about a humble woman who was able to blend in with her peers despite being a woman, not a super powerful woman who would best all of her peers because she was a woman.
aside from the MsheU girlboss shtick, the CCP also meddled with the new Mulan up the ying yang cuz it was peak pandering to China at the time.
There were two huge problems with that movie 1) Mulan went from being a capable, smart and strong woman to just having super powers for no reason. Making her wins unearned and impossible 2) Adding a random female antagonist, who last minute turned good in an attempt to show that she was only evil because men made her that way? It was non-sensical and a clear attempt to just vilify the ‘patriarchy’
I am Chinese and I also hated the new Mulan, along with all the other money-grabbing live action remakes.
@@jude-zd9ms What's upsetting is that they could have had her father train her, so that they could be more in line with the story. That way, at least her greater experience and more proficient skills would be realistic.
I LOVE the original Mulan and that was the big disservice to the original and I was disgusted with the remake there was no heart no magic no warmth. The original had all of that and more….i still get chills when all those people bow in respect to Mulan after she saves China. I felt nothing for the remake and would never revisit for fun or anything….
Disney would have to fire 3/4 of all employees to have a chance of becoming cancer free. The rot runs deep now. I wish everyone was as thorough as you are.
excising the woke tumor is just the first step (which is hard enough good luck evicting the activist junkies), they still need to attract some serious talent back and rebuild a productive healthy work culture, that part's gonna take yeeeaarrrss. by then youtubers are probably already making full length indie movies with like Sora 9 or something, or Netflix is actually doing the "Joan is Awful" personally tailored content thing heh
Also move their headquarters out of Burbank... California period.
I think 3/4 is a lowball estimate. Some parts of Disney would basically have to start from scratch. It would be easier to start a new company and let Disney fail.
You can't change a corporate culture by just sacking 3/4 of the employees. New hires will interviewed and mentored by the remaining 1/4. Worse, Disney has a top-down problem, with Iger and the board also being ideologically captured.
Only Indy-media matters now.
Woke = Racist

When Walt Disney was asked to explain the success of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs he replied:
“Over at our place, we’re sure of just one thing: everybody in the world was once a child. So in planning a new picture, we don’t think of grown-ups, and we don’t think of children, but just of that fine, clean, unspoiled spot down deep in every one of us that maybe the world has made us forget and that maybe our pictures can help recall.”
Well remembered ! 😊
Walt is turning in his grave. He wasn't perfect, but his love for well made movies was undeniable.
Now they want to brainwash children and expose them to deviants and left-wing lunatics 🤬
it's not a lack of quality or quantity, its the lack of creativity
Bingo
The biggest problem is making content for 2% of the population and expecting the other 98% to love, support and pay for it, all the while telling them what horrible useless and hateful people they are.
Considering that now Disney will use AI this will be worse
If any other company lost 141 billion $ in 3 years, their boss would be fired spectacularly.
The excuse of pandemic and exogenous inflation shocks will be useable for a couple of years still I suspect.
Small hat privilege.
Yeah like they care.They get fired with a few dozen million golden parachute packages.I am not sure about the company , i think it was WB that last week gave 30 million dollars to the one they fired!
Preferably, out of a cannon. 😅
Bob Iger 'stepped aside' for a critical few months, just before the chickens started to come home to roost (never got around to moving out of his office,) which let him deflect blame onto little Bobby Chapek, too.
One can't help but wonder if Chapek was turning into a possible threat to Iger before he set Chapek up to fail with the poison pill of the CEO spot.
The idea that they sacrificed quality for quantity is ridiculous. Everyone can see that they sacrificed quality for ideology
Well, they certainly produced quantity. Whether that had to mean sacrificing quality (considering the resources Disney has) is a separate thing.
Plus, it ties into Iger's narrative that the problem with _The Marvels_ is that the diversity hire director they placed at the helm didn't get enough supervision. Questions about why, if she needed more supervision than they had available to direct the movie, she was chosen for the job are quite unwelcome.
As if each team couldn't be full of passionate talented people all determined to create a wonderful project. Small studios might need to focus their limited funds and talent on one project but Disney has the money and (until recently) the prestige to get whoever they want.
When I was a kid, every Wednesday evening Disney had a movie on TV. That’s 52 good family movies a year. What are they doing now ? Even my dad laughed out loud at Charlie the Lonesome Cougar. They had Escape from Witch Mountain, the Parent Trap. . .
That was the only reason I briefly thought about subscribing to Disney+ , then I heard they weren’t putting their old catalog of shows on it. Then I thought about subscribing again to watch the Mandalorian, then they fired Gina Carrano .
Agreed. With a company the size of Disney there is no reason they can't churn things out and make those things good.
true
This is the most important take on what is happing in the cult of DEI and is destroying story telling as a whole. This content needs to be shared and seen. It is concise and to the point. Talent should come first and not blocked by skin color, sexual preference and political ideology. Many thanks for telling it like it is. Oh, and I joined.
One thing, too, is Walt was openly obsessed with Americana. He loved the imagery, history, culture, everything uniquely American. That’s just flatly hated by most of the creative leadership now running the company.
Telling prospective customers that you despise them and calling them names was never going to be a good business model. Disney is getting what it deserves, and it will take years to repair the damage.
Agreed, but I believe the damage is irreparable. Disney will never again capture the cultural zeitgeist, and will just become the steward of a bunch of content they've collected.
@@ChrisFoxWrites You may very well be right. There used to be something special and even enchanting about Disney productions. Now they are like a junk food manufacturing company, churning unpalatable products from the end of a noisy machine.
There is no repairing Disney, at this point. It takes years to build up brand trust and only a single act of disgusting, anti-consumer wokeness to destroy it. Just ask Bud Light and Gilette how that's going for them.
Disney has always been garbage. If you don't believe that just go to the awful thing known as Disney Channel with their awful live action/reality shows featuring stupid plots, awful jokes and fake laughter(the evidence is there).
Imagine paying 4 Billion dollars for Star Wars and immediately flushing it down the toilet. It still boggles my mind.
Star Wars has grossed over 12 billion in revenue since the acquisition. Are you mad?
@@jerrymitchell77 grossing 12B while losing a fuck ton more is not impressive at all
Yep, and they had gotten off to such a good start until the introduced rey to kilo. Which those story details p*ssed me off since I grew up reading all the books written up until the mid 2000's for that universe.
@@jerrymitchell77 Gross, not net. After the advertising, theaters, China (only a quarter of the box office take is given by China), and investor cuts, how much of that $12 billion is left for Disney? Not much.
Done well, could have been pushing that trillion line, especially if they had succeeded in merchandising instead of accidentally adding to the bankruptcy of Toys R Us
I feel bad for parents nowadays with small children. Disney was a part of growing up. Wtaching shows and acting them out as kids. Such a shame.
I am buying old used dvds, recently we watched Princess and the frog and it was great! My twelve year old daughter was captivated and loved it. It had a great love story and even had a positive father figure who sacrificed for his family.
You dont see that anymore, now they want to divide us in smaller and smaller groups
The classics are the best.
That guy who said "F Walt" should be fired, right there, on spot.... simple as... if you dont respect you roots, you dont deserve future.
Personally i never respected Walt myself, the guy was too unlikeable for my taste, but at the same time i wont deny that he was the top of what he did and brought joy to billions of children since his time. I wouldn't demand for them to respect the person but the least they could do is respect his company, because the audacity of them literally using his name to make a living while acting like they don't own his legacy anything at all. And they wonder why Disney's now looking like a hot mess under their watch 🙄
Walt has been my idol since childhood, and I'm hoping to be like him once I got into the animation business.
Now that his company is failing badly, I realize that I have to do something about it and stop this madness from continuing any further.
Once I get to work at Disney, I'm going to abolish the woke agenda once and for all and rebuild Disney's good reputation. It may seem impossible, but hey, Walt himself did say that "it's kind of fun to do the impossible".
@citrusbutter7718 That's not gonna be that way for long. As a fan who greatly respects Walt, I plan to turn things around at Disney once I get to work there. It may take a while, but I'm going to do everything in my power to change Disney for the better.
I'm terribly angry at Iger is disrespecting his legacy, and I'm going to make him sorely regret it.
@@annien.1727good luck 👍👍😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@annien.1727 good luck . I wish you much success
As Jordan Peterson pointed out, these people don't have an ounce of gratitude for those who created the wonders they take for granted.
I think its worse than that - they hate success based on talent and skill, because they don't have any. All they have is a system designed to give mediocre people power. It explains why they weild that power with no compromise. They are either too stupid, or vindictive to recognise that.
Jordan "I dreamed about my grandma's pubic hair" Peterson? LMFAO
After all they’re on stolen land and their ancestors probably had slaves! Slaves built everything including the Disney studio! The financial risk Walt took was just exercising his white privilege
In the western world the concept of valuing your elders for their knowledge and experience is very eroded compared with Asia and Africa. People here are willingly letting wisdom die out because of arrogance and the mistaken idea that they know better at their measly 20 something years of age.
@@NTNG13 most people in the west have been convinced that their elders are stupid and that any and all knowledge from the past is rooted in hatred and bigotry
Their products are increasingly flopping, that's undeniable. And yet they keep making the same mistakes over and over... Either their coffers are literally bottomless or I honestly don't know what to think anymore...
It’s more a kleptocracy - the executives can see the sinking ship and just want to leave in the helicopter with all the loot. If people suffer they do t care.
@@Historyandlegends789 Forget the "parachute."
"GET TO THE GOLDEN CHOPPA !!!"
"Evil cannot create, it can only corrupt and destroy." That quote is so prevalent now. Evil isn't even trying to hide anymore. It flaunts freely in public, corrupting and destroying every bit of good it can get its groping fingers around.
The quote is from JRR Tolkien
Well, I'm NOT going to let Iger corrupt Disney anymore! That ridiculous nonsense of his has got to STOP! I'm NOT going to let Iger get away with this. He's going to sorely REGRET the day he ruined Walt's legacy!😡💢
💯😔
It's a great quote!
R.I.P. Disney
@sunriseocean7800 😡💢Shut up! That's the stupidest, ASININE quote I've ever seen in my life! Disney is NOT dead! NOT at all!
Disney can be saved, and it WILL be saved! Once I get to work at Disney, things are going to be greatly improved. I'm going to abolish the woke agenda and create brilliant, spectacular animated movies that are entirely ANTI-WOKE! Disney will NEVER fall, I'm going to make sure that they WON'T!
Disney is dead to me. I'll never pay for anything Disney again, which is a very easy thing to do when the economy is garbage.
Same. As they continue down the same path despite what is said I won't give them another nickel. Female Silver Surfer??? WHY?
Disney and gilette
DP3 is the only movie i care about.
For me, I've applied two cutoffs (I will disregard and will not watch anything after these):
- Star Wars: "Star Wars: Episode IV - The Rise of Skywalker"
- The Rest of Disney: The live-ish action version of "Pinocchio"
I will just read manga and watch anime instead. Both offer great and entertaining stories.
Good, bigots aren't needed either
Poor Walt Disney must be rolling and crying in his grave.
The editing of your videos is simply mindblowing.
Disney movies went from having a message to pushing ✨️THE MESSAGE.✨️
Go away now

The thing is after some of John Lasseter’s most talented colleagues were told that they would be shown the door if they tried to defend him, they likely said “no need, we know where the door is”, and left to join him at Skydance animation, and as a result, Pixar can’t make the same high quality animation that they were known for anymore. Whoops!
Pixar's three strikes were Turning Red, Lightyear and Elemental. I have zero trust in them with regards to Inside Out 2.
"Whoopsie!"
(as a response to your last word being "Whoops!")
That's an inside joke for "pitch meeting" fans - if you're not familiar with that channel, drop everything and check it out right away! 😁
I had not even heard of Skydance animation.
The entertainment future probably belongs to independent studios and UA-camrs.
and Blue sky studios was already falling apart in 2016 before officially dissolving 2 years ago (hopefully reestablished like Toys R us was on 4/22/24) so NIMONA gets wide release on 6/28/24 as an official blue sky studios film rebranded as "Blue sky's Nimona"

Aw, making Pitch Meeting jokes is TIGHT! 😁

Props to the video and sound/score editing in this video. Perfect synchronicity with the narration. Felt like I was watching a high production documentary
When I grew up in the 80's and 90's Disney was amazing and delivered non stop classic hand-drawn hit after hit. Now it's a complete other way around company. So sad to see 😢
That "F**k Walt" was all I needed to know about what's wrong with Disney right now. "Let the past die, kill it if you have to."
It is incredible the hatred that these people have just because the medium they work with is from the "past", believing that by destroying it, their work will be better in comparison (and that is with all current mediums, from the new Shera to the live action series of Avatar), it is thanks to that past that they have a future in the first place.
Don't forget that these people have done nothing. They've produced nothing. They've created NOTHING. They just feed off the creations of others. Cultural locusts.
If only Marxists were forced to look at their history as closely.
@@vladpiranha They won't, for them that wasn't "Real Socialism" and they will be the ones to get it right this time 🙄 is the definition of Insanity
FINALLY someonr acknowledges how garbage the new Shera is. All they did was slap her name onto a bunch of Tumblr OC rejects + some catering to thr Tumblr homosexuals. A girl who watched Heman and Shera stuff with my dad when I was small: piss off!
Walt was no saint and I'm sure there are innumerable woke axes to grind when it comes to it. That being the case, they think it means they get to throw out all of the good he did and the hardwork and talent that built the foundation of the company he built. Little do they realize that roughly 0% of people are perfect and that by their own ideaology that means anyone is free to toss out what they are doing... and it seems like the vast majority are doing just that.
My old VHS of Sleeping Beauty had a little behind the scenes clip after the film’s credits. It showed off the background painters working on the forest scenes from the movie. Sleeping Beauty’s art was always so beautiful to me, especially the painted landscapes. Watching the painter delicately add leaves to a single tree one brush stroke at a time was so captivating to watch; it’s how I fell in love with painting as a kid. I don’t believe that level of care and love and passion exists at Disney anymore. Nothing they’ve done recently feels inspired. It’s such a shame.
I watched a 90s documentary of how Snow White was made featuring Angela Lansbury narrating. It, too, was nothing short of amazing. When I spoke to my coworker about how they would act certain scenes out for the artists to recreate through animation, he called it "motion capture" long before there was such a thing. And therein lies the problem. Stories told are too easily made. A good story takes time and a significant amount of rewrites and cuts before we get a final version.
@@ITSAHARDNUGLIFE 'Rotoscoping' was, though. Not for _Snow White,_ I think, but in the 90s.
Rotoscoping is when you trace over a live-action film and then fill out the character based on the tracing.
@boobah5643 aha! Like the cartoon LotR right?
I had a VHS with Lion King and a small footage on how they did the drawings, voiceovers etc. Although the footage wasn't translated and I spoke no English at the time, I really enjoyed it, and was looking forward to it every time I rewatched the cartoon.
There was something so wholesome about those talented people being in love with their craft, even for 7 y.o. me it was obvious.
thats so awesome i miss vhs tapes had tos of disey movies growing up
I see other channels take about what is happening to the entertainment industry but they come off as unhinged and angry… you did it with poise, facts, and reason.
Go woke go broke, Disney like Titanic 🚢
20th century Disney employees wanted a place to work that valued hard work, creativity, and talent. Modern Disney employees want a place to work where their dysfunctions are praised and their kinks are normalized.
true
It's not just Disney. That's the movement of many woke companies and institutions.
I grew up on Disney movies. Now I warn parents to keep their kids away.
I've got 3 little girls that will never see their current movies.
I just can't trust them with my babies.
It's heartbreaking because I grew up with the Disney princesses.
I wish I'd been able to give that to my girls but maybe it's for the best.
Or have the kids watch the classic ones if possible, back when things like guns and drugs were present.
At least THOSE movies were more child friendly.
Me too. I am not vocal on much, but I am vocal on Disney to other mums. Children do NOT need to know about sexuality of characters.
The Buzz Lightyear movie was an insult to boys. I stopped my 6 year old from watching it half way through.
@@electrobob992I'm buying the classic movies on DVD.

Can’t remember watching any UA-cam video that moved me like this. Your narration is powerful. The content invoke such dismay it’s painful. But thank you for putting this out there. I have been terribly saddened by the direction Disney took. Can’t bear to watch anything they put out, not even their trailers.
There is an old Sanskrit saying, "विनाश काले विपरीत बुद्धि"
Meaning: "As (one's) doom approaches, (the person's) intellect works against (his/her) best interest".
It fits quite perfectly for Disney.
I used to love Marvel.
I wanted to see the whole star wars series but now I fear it is not worth is going in a sinking ship, maybe.
I was born in 1993 and i think i have experienced the golden era of animated Tv shows and movies. Still have Disney movies on VHS
Aw! #socute!
Buuuut to be fair, most people think their generation had the best of cinema and TV.
@@IllisiaAdams yeah but objectively speaking, there was no agenda to push , the only objective was to entertain. Take For example Hey arnold, just a group of friends dealing with things and learning about life without talking about, race , gender, political opinions. Now the main focus of tv shows is agenda. Now characters are introduced with prefered pronouns ,sex orientation, and even the percentage of their ancestry.
I rewatch the old stuff, although Enchanto was pretty good. Anything past Frozen doesn’t quite hit the mark.
@@IllisiaAdamsit wasn’t the best, but it was the last that was consistently entertaining for sake of being entertaining.
@@IllisiaAdams Yeah that's true, but the 90's was the decade of Disney's Renaissance, so OP is kinda right.
It’s not just the content they’re producing; the parks suck now too. I went to DisneyWorld in 2016 during my birthday and I remember not a single employee passed by me and didn’t smile wishing me a happy birthday after seeing my pin. I went there again in 2023 for my birthday: I spent a full day at Hollywood Studios and only ONE cast member bothered wishing me a happy birthday. That feel-good vibe that was so present at the parks is now gone, it feels like they’re only interested in milking your last cents.
After the park visit was over we went to Red Lobster. I got more smiles and happy birthdays wishes during a 2 hour meal at a small Red Lobster than during 10 hours at a Disney Park
Man.....I went to Disney in 2019 and you're so right. In 2007 I worked in MGM, the last year it was called that, in the Disney college work-study program (custodian). I was a shy kid, but was forced to come out of my shell and be more assertive because that was the job. you had to smile at everyone, greet people, and if you see people standing around looking confused, you introduce yourself and offer them directions or suggestions.
When I went back in 2019 it was like a whole different experience. Now when you would make eye contact with an employee, they would quickly look away, like "why is this weirdo looking at me?".
I was thrown off by all the employees having beards, while if I came in with light stubble, I was forced by management to shave with a single blade plastic razor, in a sink that had only cold water. At the time I knew they were upholding a standard, and then in 2019 I figured maybe standards and society just changed.
But the employees now are also dismissive and borderline rude sometimes.
When I worked there, I would visit the parks on my days off, and guests would just know that I was an employee by how friendly and open I was. Several times while I was just in normal street clothing, random people would walk up to me like "hey, sorry to interrupt, do you know how to get to (place)?". And I would say oh yeah of course no problem, you just go this way and this way blah blah blah.
Even on your day off, out of uniform, it's like the guests could smell it on you. When I was having a bad day, going above and beyond for a guest and seeing their joy would make it feel sort of worthwhile.
Now, it doesn't feel like you're a guest. It feels like you're a customer at best, and a nuisance at worst.
It's actually pretty damn depressing.
Sorry for the novel.
I probably could have omitted the part about me being shy and the beard stuff.... But i was rambling, voice to text. Oh well.
@@Littledidtheyknowyou’re absolutely right. I am not from the US, but me and my family have visited Disney World many times and the last two experiences (2022 and 2023) were not nearly as magical as it used to be. What you said about cast members is absolutely spot on. When you’re in line waiting to get into a ride, cast members will now talk to each other and just stand there looking at you as if you’re a nuisance.
Their over priced too. My family and I went the Orlando Universal Resort and Park for three days. It was only a third the price that it was for a single night at a Disney Park according to the people we talked to that had been there
You were at red lobster for two hours?! That’s Disney level diabolical
Couldn't happen to a more deserving company
Imagine being part of a company whose namesake is widely regarded as a pioneer for your industry, whose mastery of the craft, dedication to the art, and outlook on life gave us some of the most timeless stories ever told...and when asked what he'd think of his namesake today, you just say "F**k him!"
Honestly, what more needs to be said?
My father once said trust is like a bank account, very difficult to build up but 1 mistake away from being in the red.
Wise man.🤔🤔
I guess you can say it's 1 mistake away from.....Turning Red (ba dum tss)
If Walt Disney himself was still alive to this day, he would be absolutely furious and disgusted about the direction his company has gone in.
I can only imagine that he would do everything he can to save the company from their self destruction while also wining back the fans by producing top notch entertainment without indoctrination. RIP Walt Disney
Remember, it’s not Disney. It’s Iger.
The only good thing nowadays is just Epic Mickey Rebrushed.
This is such an exceptionally well made video between the visuals, cutaways, commentary, and backgound music.
Disney went from being a fun friend to a creepy uncle that smells like vodka and cigarettes.
Only for the older fans. Gen-z and gen-a still love them, for the most part. People my age *like what they make* but then I have older friends (millennials and older) who wish the company would burn lol

Vodka actually doesn’t smell that much, not at all once it’s dried…that’s why it’s a favourite of the alcoholics! Other people can’t smell it as easily
And yet their board of directors just got voted back into their roles...smh
That’s because most people with their heads on straight sold their stock in Disney long ago. Most holders now are true believers and, right up until the last second before they hit the ocean floor, they’re not going to change course.
Because it is no more the Legacy of Walt Disney, now it´s politics and money.

Excellent video with nice editing. Always a pleasure watching your content Baggage Claim. Yur channel is very underrated
Trying to sexualize animated cartoon films aimed at children is wild. That’s why families that care about what their children watch have turned their back on them.
Playing the devil’s advocate, isn’t showing a prince stealing the princess’ heart “sexualizing”?
I don’t like modern Disney, but I don’t think this is an accurate complaint.
Yeah…except this was actually in Disney films before. Ever seen the female rabbit in Bambi? I despise new Disney but this is not a good point.
Along with the gender, and race batting agenda.
I'm buying the classics on DVD. I still enjoy those. They're classics for a reason.
That is the crispest summation of the tragedy that I've heard in awhile. Can I tell you how we Australian kids lived for Disney content on all the mediums? How we sang the songs, lived the dreams, and went as adults to the theatres as adults to watch "kids movies"? How terribly sad to see them destroy Star Wars, Indiana Jones...and the cartoon characters of our youth-all killed off...its all hopeless.
They destroyed hope.
"Diversity over talent". This is happening in critically more important areas other than mere entertainment. Diversity over talent is happening right NOW in the US military, crucial government departments, including the FBI and ICE, as well as the EPA, the NHTSA, the National Forest Service, and many other gov beaucracies and academic and private institutions. Wake up, America! (Not talking about, "White privilege" here!) Just hiring the best person for the job! And why is it that Asian Americans are not included in the catch-all, "People of Color"?
The sad thing is now every time I saw a new movie with lots of black characters, I intuitively think it’s a bad movie. Because Disney has constantly associate bad story telling with woke culture. It basically painted diversity with such a negative light. If I’m black, I would sue the ass out of Disney.
same, I used to empathize with LGBTQ themes but now I'm hypersensitive to the slightest whiff of any identity politics and immediately put up a mental shield.

Being a black actor I can tell you from my own personal experience that having a job is a good thing. Working actors don't get any say in whether a movie is bad or not. I'm glad to see all the roles available that weren't in my day. These are miles away from the door man, shoe shine boy, tap dancer roles that black actors were stuck with.
@@jerrymitchell77 I don't want the actors in The American Society of Magical Negroes to be punished, certainly. But those kind of movies aren't helping anyone's cause.
@jerrymitchell1673 yeah, that's understandable. There are also lots of good movies featuring black actors.
I feel like they went down hill when they stopped making animated cartoons and just made Pixar animation. The under representation is SO annoying. I had disney plus, now I don't. DEI is ruining North America. AND I'm one of the underrepresented group. I had a bunch of strokes when I was 22 and can't work due to the damages. But I don't care if I'm represented. Movies are not supposed to represent us. They are supposed to help us escape what we live day to day.
I miss when Pixar and Disney were 2 desperate things, now it’s hard to tell which was made by which.
Exactly right, "representation" is for narcissists who think they are perfect and want to see themselves portrayed as a perfect hero. What Disney used to give us was INSPIRATION, showing us that even if we suffer adversity we can achieve great things through hard work, determination and growth, and these things are universal traits anyone can see within themselves
Exactly! Movies and shows (and even music to an extent) have always served as escape and/or inspiration. It’s not supposed to reflect reality back to us, no one wants that.
Editing is astounding in this video
Disney has become the villain in its own story 📖🪄
Disney is like the shitty uncle that isn't allowed at family gatherings anymore.
No, they are the opposite. The shitty uncle is usually the one with no time for woke nonsense.
Since I was a kid, I was abused and had to go through an unhealthy amount of experiences. Disney was everything to me back then. It literally made me who I am today; with a positive outlook on life, to work hard to achieve my goals, and dream of a happy ending no matter the challenges and suffering. I didn't need a movie to relate to my race, gender, sexual orientation, etc. to feel this way! Empowerment to me was not to see a movie tailored in order for me to feel included and how much of a minority I am! Empowerment to me was watching a Disney movie that taught me that no matter how much I suffered, it is never wrong to be strong, to work hard, and never be ashamed to hope for my dreams to come true!
Hey. I’m so sorry for what happened to you. I hope you’re doing OK nowadays.
Thank-you for opening up. Don't give up and don't hesitate to ask for help. Watch more anime because it may teach you something that Dissney now lacking.
@@CloudyWolf713 Thank you for your kind words! And yes I am doing well as of now! I am engaged to my own Prince Charming and doing what I love! Hope you too are doing well!
@@artfire28 Thanks for the encouragement! And yes, I watch quite a handful of anime and they too built my personality! Hope you're doing well yourself! Don't ever give up either!
@@angelmika922 That’s wonderful to hear! ^_^
Your editing is noticeably more professional! Hope your channel continues to grow!
This video needs way more views.
the visual production on this was masterclass🔥🔥🔥
Take princess and the Frog. Tianas race is in the subtext but the story itself is about hard work while also having fun. The idea us universal.. if it was made today her race would be her whole story and her whole identity would be that she's black. How far we've come in 15 years.
Or she would be like Asha, a bland “oh so quirky” activist.
You mean how far we've gone back lol
No he means how far we’ve come down the path to hell.
The movie flopped,thgough
@@SteveCarras it didn’t flop, it just wasn’t the big monster hit they were hoping for.
I almost took this video seriously right up till that last part, hilarious
The folks who hurt Disney are it's Board of Directors..........It's that simple.
Marvel and Star Wars has unbelievably fallen below rock bottom. Those names meant something
Thank you, Baggage Claim. When John Lasseter was eased out of Disney, I was horrified. As a creative artist I admired his attitude: When asked if he would teach computer techs how to animate, he said, No, we'll teach the artists how to use the technology, because it doesn't work the other way around. At his creative demise I posted a reaction on Facebook, and was bombarded by an onslaught of diatribe on Lasseter from an animator friend. It all boiled down to this: Lasseter hugged people, got drunk, and several women had complained. Nobody seemed to care that he made damned great animated films. Especially my animator friend, which was particularly chilling, as he's a teacher in the industry.
As someone who works in animation this really hit home. I do think John Lasseter is the closest we've come to a Walt Disney of this generation and you can see a trajectory down after he left of Pixar/Disney.
I expect great animations from Netflix Skydance with Lasseter at the helm.
Impressively well created. Thank you
Great to see you on Drinker’s Chasers!!
I'm 37, and I'm still waiting on my white privilege. When is that supposed to kick in?
Wokies would gaslight you and say it has already. 😄
In fairness, the concept is that you don’t even realize you already have it.
But I understand your point! Life is tough for everyone. Mother Nature doesn’t care who you are; everyone gets dealt a random hand.
@@harmonys2102 I actually have noticed... the opposite. Once I realized every job or new position I've ever held I've had a minority and/or female direct superior.
@@harmonys2102 the dude above you just predicted what you would say
Hahaha 😂 Welcome the 21st century my friend. We are at the beginning of the age of twisted values and insanity. Keep your kids safe from disney and all the other woke bs.
Bob Iger is a very "the buck stops with anyone but me" kind of guy, and until that changes, or he finally leaves for good, Disney will never get better.
Amazing video, as always!
8:59 Darn, I was supposed to be flirting with my coworkers? I guess I've been doing it all wrong 😂😂
"There is a lesson to be learned here" -Frolo
Not for long! It's NOT over for Disney! Not by a long shot! Disney is NOT going to die anytime soon! You asked the question: "Can the company that brought us the greatest animation classics be saved?" The answer is a solid YES! Yes, it can! Disney CAN be saved! Once I get to work at Disney as a storyboard artist, I'm going to put my creativity to good use! I'm going to create new animated Disney films with good stories that will NEVER flop!
And I also plan to destroy the woke agenda once and for all! It will be ABOLISHED! Gone! Finito! No more DEI! In its place will be Walt's original ideology of how Disney movies should be made! Family entertainment WILL return to Disney, and Disney will earn back the parents' trust! I'm going to make sure that it will! It may be a risky gamble, but I'm going to do whatever I can to succeed in my goal to save Disney! #BringBackTheMagic #SaveDisney
Disney used to make family friendly content, but now they have chased off their core audience and it will take a lot of changes to win those viewers, including me, back.
Disney of the past gave everyone lessons about how to move past often even horrible things (Bambi) with resilience, friendship, personal growth and finding good in life.
Disney of today gives everyone lessons, that to get ahead, you better find what makes you a marginalized victim and surround yourself with people who never disagree with you.
This is a masterful summary of Disney's DEI issue. Well done!
Also, whoever edited this deserves a medal, regardless of their skin color ;) the clips are perfectly placed for what you're talking about and flow together REALLY well.
Fixing Disney will be a long and arduous process. They have to replace a huge chunk of the company's directors, writers, animators, executives, editors, and God knows who else.
Ever get the feeling that there is just some force at work at themoment wanting to destroy everything, not just Disney but kinda worldwide.
Just to make everything chaotic and miserable.
Almost like if that happens, certain beings will have more control
Something is definitely awry.
Ayyyy, my marriage also started as an office romance! Disney and classic fairy tales were one of the things we bonded over. Our first trip together was to Disneyland, we got engaged at Disneyland Paris, and had our honeymoon at Walt Disney World. And we still love the things we have loved about Disney, and the memories we made, and how Beauty and the Beast is still her favourite movie and Fantasia is mine. But we also haven't gone back to a Disney park in almost ten years (considering that in the ten years before that we went to a Disney park somewhere in the world almost every year) and derive more entertainment out of the company's collapse than anything the company makes presently.
Excellent video….the highest quality 👍🏻
I cant explain exactly why disney is failing in 2024. The company Disney used to ride the Coat Tales of the characters, such as Mickey Mouse, Minnie mouse. People loved the characters in Disney was directly connected and in complete harmony with the characters. Walt Disney stemming from their CEO decoupled themselves from the characters, thereby decoupling from their success. Failed leadership is the cause how a seasoned CEO could be so silly to make a move like that is beyond me When Disney went woke, they attempted to create characters around their newly taken position. Compared to what gave them success, creating characters around their position is the exact opposite. They need to take a position around the existing successful characters This silly nonsensical approach is very radical and puts the entire organization at risk and there’s no one to blame but the CEO Mr. Eiger
Went from Light Magic to Dark Magic. Families are walking away.
Clever wordplay.
Can Disney be saved, starting now in 2024? Short, brutal answer, "No."
Oh dear. I am glad I am not one of those youtubers or otherwise I would have to work on an hour-long refutation video. I do admire your style of presentation and delivery though. Credit where it is due 😏
Bob Iger and his ilk are destroying Disney.
What a beautifully well-commentated video you have created here, Baggage claim! Actually, I wasn't expecting anything less from you, as you are extremely well spoken and use the English language to its full potential. You are our voice!! I look forward to your next commentary and wish you all the best💯💖🎉🍾
How was this written 5 hrs ago? When this shows on my end the video was posted 45 seconds ago, and counting? Lol crazy..
@@johnsolo534 she's a channel member, I guess channel members have early access? 🤔
@@awsome182 OH! Makes sense 😏
Thank you so much! And my editor just knocked it out of the park!
@@BaggageClaim Great video. As of today I'm a fan :)
And I agree about the editor: _really_ excellent work!
there is one way to get fans of Star Wars back, fire Iger, fire KK, retcon 7-9, and stick to the 50 years of established lore.
And fire Dave Filoni and take Ahsoka to the death bed.
I hate how easily they "retcon" everything these days. It's just an excuse to churn out crap and when it's badly received or makes no sense to the established Canon, they just say "eh it's doesn't count."
Then don't make it.
Very timely video for me. I'm currently being forced out of my job due to my refusal to participate in DEI training. Your statement about how hard it is to combat once it's been introduced is so true.
Superb analysis...
Can you believe that Bob actually had plans to run for president?
DEI was gonna be his platform, Disney was his first test run.
Would still be better than Biden. 💀
@@HimekoIzayoi better then all politicians if we're being honest
Sure, its these kinds of people that run for presidents, all the time.
@@thunderlighting2006 Nah, he'd still be far worse than the Orange Man he hates so much.
That was more pain than I was prepared for.
💯💯💯👍
That's because "the truth hurts". 😅
Perfect comment; I couldn’t agree more.
You have given, again, a well-thought out perspective. I always find your videos insightful and passionate. You have grown beyond your original niche looking at narcissists, expanding into media and other broader topics. I applaud your progress and look forward to every one of your future videos. Thank you for your work and continue to give us your best.
Great video!
Here’s a slight positive thought:
The history of the Disney company has shown multiple times of drastic decline from money hungry executives to then the these magical saviours redeeming the company.
First, Disney created a hit cartoon series based on his first character Oswald the Rabbit where the series became a hit.
Then Disney was fired from his own project.
Disney created Mickey Mouse, created another fantastic cartoon series, and eventually Snow White and the Seven Dwarves.
Eventually, some of the fresh animators demanded higher pay and for the company to be unionized. Therefor, the company, despite Walt’s wishes, became a union and wasn’t as warm as before.
Disney then launched Disneyland, started Disney world, and kept working on movies.
Then Disney passed away from lung cancer. Disney World launched and was successful, but the movie quality started to decline.
In 1989, Howard Ashman came into the scene and launched the Disney Renaissance. Also, Pixar released their first movie, Toy Story, in 1995 which also launched the Pixar era. Things were great.
Then Michael Isner reduced budgets for everything, so the movies declined and the parks declined.
Then we got Bob Iger…
Maybe Elon Musk or George Lucas will become the new saviours.
History will eventually repeat itself.
In the past it was normal human errors and/or bad luck. This time Disney has fallen to a cult. As cults fail they salt the earth.
Lucas cant be the new saviour, because they cant fire the shitty feminist in charge because ....she is a woman!Musk maybe,because he has the money and power to do it, and he doesn't give a shit what others will say,and then he can hire Lucas.
Whoever acquires Disney would do what was done to Metro Goldwyn Mayer: Acquire the catalog, close the production facilities, fire everybody, and restaff the parks with young people who are not loonies.
